PERFUMING APPARATUS.

T0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I,`HARRY J. KEATING, e citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Perfuming Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

y invention relates to perfuming or disinfecting apparatus and has for its object the provision of improved means for delivering a blast of treated air into a confined space, such for instance as would be found in telephone booths. transfer buses, taxicabs, street cars or the like.

My invention is not designed to deliver a liquid spray, but is designed to deliver a blast of air or gas which has been passed through a suitable liquid by which the air is charged with an agent such as it is desired to deliver.

In the description herein I will describe my invention more particularly as it is applied to deliver periodically a blast of air which has been passed'through a perfuming liquid, thus to avoid the objectionable odors found in confined spaces.

To this end my invention when applied in this particular form consists of a device having aV pump periodically actuated by a door or similar element to force air through a supply of liquid and to direct this air into the confined space.

I will describe in detail this particular form which my invention may take by referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing, in Which- Figure 1 shows a portion of a telephone booth as provided with my improved vdevice; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of my improveddevice, and 'F ig. 3 is a sectional view on lines a-a ofFig. 2.

Referring more particularly to Fig. 1, I show a telephone booth 1 having the customary door 2. My improveddevice 3 is attached at any suitable space Within the booth and is operated periodically as the door is closed through the agency of the operating lever 4. This operating lever coperates with a metallic plate 5 secured to the door, which metallic plate engages the upper left hand extremity of the lever to Specication of Letters Patent.

move it from one position tothe other once during each time the door is closed.

My improved device 3 is made in the form of a receptacle and is adapted to contain perfumed or otherwise treated liquid G. Within the receptacle the pump 7 is mounted, being held in place by a suitable band 8 and resting on top of the brackets 9. The p ump.. has the customary piston 10 which is attached by means of the link 12 `with the arm 13 of the bell crank lever 4. This bell crank lever 4 is pivoted upon a cotter pin 14, which cotter pin engages a suitable bracket 15. This bracket 15 is fastened within the receptacle and protrudes through the cover plate 16 thereof. It will be seen that the arm-13 is of a flattened C-shapo so that it may rest on top of 'the rounded upper surface of the bracket 15.' A further Cotter pin 17 pivotally unites the arm 13 with the link 12.

In Fig. 2 I show in full lines the position of the elements in one position and show them in their alternate position in dotted lines. A tube 11 extends from the lower portion of the pump down into the liquid and near the bottom thereof. Now whenever the piston 10 is moved downwardlyit forces air through the tube 1.1. which air bubbles through the liquid 6 and is thereby suitably charged and is then emitted from the openings 18 in the cover plate 16. A spring 19 having one extremity within an opening 18 and its other extremity between the opposite sides of the arm 13 normally` retains the bell crank lever 4 in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1. A suitable closureor cap nut 20 is provided through which the device may besuitably filled.

It will be seen that as the door actuates the bell crank lever 4 that a jet of treated air emanates from the openings 18 and is discharged into the booth 1, thus tocause the air therein to assume a more pleasing odor. l

My improved device consisting of thereceptacle as shown has a downwardly projecting finger 21 adapted to rest within the flattened C-shaped extremity 22 of a back 23. A finger 24 at one portion of this back extends forwardly to hold the device more thoroughly in place. The upper extremity of the receptacle has a Harige 25 so that by means of the screws 26 it can be secured to lil() which my invention may take, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: J

1. A device of the character described comprising a liquid container, a pump within the container, means whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid, and openings in said container through which the treated air is emitted.

2. A device of the character described comprising a liquid container, apump within the container, means whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid, and openings in said container through which the treated air is emitted in' jets through the agency of the pressure supplied by said pump.

3. A device of the character described comprising avliquid container, a pump within the container, means whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid, openings in said container through which the-treated air is emitted, and a door actuating lever for periodically operating said pump.

v4. A device. ofthe character described comprising a liquid container, a pump within the container, means' whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid, openings in said container throughwhich the treated air is emitted in jets through the agency of the pressure supplied bysaid pump, and a door actuating lever for periodically operating said pump.

5. A device of the character describedy comprising a liquid container,a pump with- 1n the container, means whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid,

openingsin said container through which the treated air is emitted, a door actuating lever for periodically operating said pump, and a spring for restoring said lever.

6. A device of the character..Y described comprising a liquid container, a pump within the container, means whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid, openings in said container through which the treated air is emitted in jets through the agency of the pressure supplied by said pump, a door actuating lever for periodically operating said pump, and a spring for restoring said lever.

7 A device of the character described comprising a liquid container, a pump within the container, means whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid, openings in said container through which the treated air is emitted, a door actuating lever for periodically operating -said pump, a spring for restoring said lever, yand a bracket upon which said container isv mounted.

8. A device of the character described comprising a liquid container, a pump within the container, means whereby said pump when actuated forces air through said liquid, openings in said container through which the treated air is emitted in jets through the agency of the pressure supplied by said pump, a door actuating leverfor periodically operating said pump, a spring for restoring said lever, and a bracket upon which said container is mounted.

In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 19th day of March, A. D.,
